Seth Rollins may be the reason why Edge is not your WWE Universal Champion! The Rated-R Superstar pretty much had the match won but Seth Rollins ensured that he will have to wait his life and await his next turn.

Why would Rollins interfere in a match that had nothing to do with him? In this article, we shall mention 5 reasons and invite you to chime in with your own, as well, in the comments below.


#5 Edge vs. Seth Rollins at SummerSlam is the next marquee attraction

Edge is one of the all-time greats, someone who wrestles like he's still in his prime even at the age of 47. Seth Rollins is one of the most popular stars of the modern era, a man who delivers in the ring and is a wonderful promo too. As is public knowledge already, these two have been bookmarked by WWE creative for a match at SummerSlam.

Since these two men are established stars already, they do not need any title at all to make their match a must-see affair! It saves WWE from the problem they would have otherwise faced - how do we stop Seth Rollins, one of SmackDown's top stars from going after Roman Reigns, a fellow heel. With Edge, John Cena, and Goldberg, SummerSlam will be a show that attracts casual fans just as much as the hardcore ones!

A feud with Edge could also be Seth Rollins' reward for working with mid-card stars like Cesaro, Murphy, and Dominik Mysterio, to elevate them. This time, he's working with a legend in a spot that many would die for, in a sense. There are elements of Edge in Seth Rollins for sure, who was undoubtedly influenced by this all-time great.

#4 Seth Rollins made Edge look strong even in defeat

Seth Rollins ensured that Edge's equity wasn't diminished even though he came up short in this match. The record books will show that the Rated-R had the match won when Seth Rollins interfered in the contest and history was forever changed.

It's also a moment that makes all the sense in the world because of the build on SmackDown. Edge and Seth Rollins sowed the seeds leading up to this big, unforgettable WWE Money in the Bank moment.


#3 Roman Reigns and John Cena got to have their big moment

Edge and Seth Rollins cleared out of the ring to settle their differences. Little did the audience know that they were leaving the ring to set the stage for a massive moment, perhaps the biggest of the year.

John Cena returned to a thunderous ovation and had a showdown with the Tribal Chief at Money in the Bank, setting up their SummerSlam feud. Seth Rollins provided Edge with a logical reason to leave the ring once his match with Roman Reigns was done.

#2 Edge could defeat Seth Rollins and not hurt him

Why are Edge and Seth Rollins entering into this big feud? Honestly, after suffering two humiliating losses to Roman Reigns, the WWE Hall Of Famer needs a win to remind the world that he is indeed a big deal. If not, his value could be diminished greatly.

Seth Rollins is an established star that Edge could defeat and get some of his steam back.

Expect this author to be very surprised if Seth Rollins wins the grand upcoming attraction.


#1 Allows for a dream scenario on SmackDown

Listen, so we have two dream matches for SummerSlam 2021. We are likely to get Edge vs. Seth Rollins as well as John Cena vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship.

We're almost certainly going to see a dream scenario unfold in one of the SmackDowns prior to SummerSlam. Seth Rollins could once again team up with his former Shield-mate Roman Reigns. Edge could team up with his arch-nemesis John Cena again. This tag team match will most definitely be one for the ages.
